The DEC’POL can absorb chemical and biological agents, and destroy them in order to avoid cross contamination. DEC’POL is based on the synergy of several innovations: fast transfer inside the absorbent material, chemical and biological destruction agents by selected catalyzers inside the absorbent material.

DEC’POL mitt is therefore a simple, fast and effective solution, in case of chemical or biological contaminations of surfaces, equipment and non-injured skin for both civilian and military applications.

DEC’POL was developed in partnership with Institut des sciences Pharmaceutiques et Biologiques de l’Université Claude Bernard Lyon 1 (pharmaceutical faculty) and CEA (The French Atomic Energy and Alternative Energy Commission) of Grenoble.

Last publication in 2016 focuses on the destruction of paraoxon (VX stimulant) and bacteria by different metal oxides.

DEC’POL was tested with North Paris fire fighters (SDIS 95), STAT (Technical Section of the Army), Serbian nuclear institute Vinca, and the Czech military institute of Brno.
